The quantum engine threatens to read every cipher at a glance. The CEYLON CIPHERINE fortifies the commercial frame against this new distemper. Dr. Vane-Hartley of Kyoto's Imperial Cryptographic Infirmary pronounces it sovereign. Full particulars within.
Every age renews its defences. The quantum engine reads at a glance what industry labours to conceal.
Wherefore the CEYLON CIPHERINE. Discovered in Ceylon's hill-country; compounded by Dr. Augustus Vane-Hartley, Physician to the Imperial Cryptographic Infirmary of Kyoto. One course replenishes the exhausted cipher-glands, restores the languid quantum-plexus, and stills the wandering humours.
Mr. Justice Arkwright of the Inner Temple declares his papers have not once been misread since he took the preparation with his morning sherry. [Should any cipher yield, the purchase sum shall be returned, with a guinea in acknowledgment.]
Sold at 6s 8d per phial, or 2 guineas the Chest of six, by Messrs. Grimsdyke & Foil of Cornhill. The archives will record who prepared and who delayed.
—Dr. Octavia Blythe
